yeah really.

then just falling towards it
i mean your falling for ten minutes you could really just take it all in that would be an amazing rush.

only thing is...where the hell is he going to land?
im guessing if hes that high up he could probably drift quite a bit...especially if hes going up in a balloon if thats what i understood?

In 1960, Joe Kittinger set the current record at 102,800 ft. Too bad the US invests more money in killing people than investing in science like the 60s.

He's in a pressure suit. He's tried this before so hopefully he can do it this time.
